Tour plan

Day 01
Arrival in Cairo

Your Egypt Go Travel representative greets you at Cairo International Airport and transfers you to your hotel by private air-conditioned vehicle. Welcome to Egypt!

Day 02
Cairo — Pyramids, Sphinx & Egyptian Museum

▸ Egyptian Museum of Antiquities: Home to over 250,000 artifacts spanning 5,000 years of ancient Egyptian civilization — including the breathtaking Tutankhamun treasure room, royal mummies, and priceless golden jewelry.

▸ Great Pyramids of Cheops, Chephren & Mykerinus: The last remaining wonder of the ancient world — three iconic royal tombs rising from the Giza Plateau, built over 4,500 years ago. The Great Pyramid of Cheops is the tallest and most colossal structure ever built by human hands.

▸ The Great Sphinx: A colossal limestone statue with the body of a lion and the face of Pharaoh Chephren. Standing guard over the Giza Plateau for millennia, the Great Sphinx is one of the most recognizable monuments on Earth.

Day 03
Luxor — East Bank: Karnak & Luxor Temples

Fly to Luxor — ancient Thebes — and transfer directly to explore the East Bank:

▸ Karnak Temple Complex: The world's largest ancient religious complex, dedicated to the Theban triad of Amun, Mut, and Khonsu. Its Great Hypostyle Hall — filled with 134 massive columns — is an architectural wonder still awe-inspiring today.

▸ Luxor Temple: Built by Amenhotep III and completed by Ramesses II, this elegant riverside temple was dedicated to the god Amun-Ra. Its towering pylons and soaring columns glow magnificently at night.

Day 04
Luxor — West Bank: Valley of the Kings & Hatshepsut

▸ Valley of the Kings: The royal burial ground of Egypt's most powerful New Kingdom pharaohs, where over 60 decorated tombs have been discovered, including those of Tutankhamun, Ramesses VI, and Thutmosis III.

▸ Temple of Queen Hatshepsut at Deir el-Bahari: The dramatic mortuary temple of ancient Egypt's greatest female ruler, cut into the Theban cliffs at Deir el-Bahari. Queen Hatshepsut ruled Egypt for 20 years and is celebrated as one of its most successful pharaohs.

▸ Colossi of Memnon: Two towering 18-metre statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III that have stood watch over the Theban necropolis for over 3,400 years, now one of Luxor's most photographed landmarks. Fly back to Cairo in the evening and transfer to your hotel.

Day 05
